This paper considers the optimal placement of actuators for vibration control of tensegrity structures using different control strategies. The problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem where the objective functions are the control energy and the residual or spillover energy which are minimized. The optimization problem is solved by genetic algorithm. The tensegrity structure of class 1 comprising of two modules with three actuators is considered as an example.
